Heres the 50 Cal Ma Deuce Machine Gun! M2 and here's the Dillon M134D Gatling Gun or Minigun.

Be sure to watch M134D Gatling Gun "Rolling Thunder".

Let’s see 45 seconds x 50 rounds/second = 2250 rounds

2250 rounds x $.25/round = $560

I’ll use a saw

How about a machine gun with a ten round magazine?

Why does the Secret Service need 3,000 round magazines? They should get
seven bullets each and a top-break single shot pistol like the rest of us peons.

Oh, a 3,000 round magazine is only 1 minute of ammo for the old model, and only 30 seconds for the new model!

Well, let’s see, if I poured gasoline on the tree, then stuck one knife, then threw another knife into the first knife...yes!

I believe that was Hiram Maxim demonstrating his new invention to the Chinese ambassador.

Quoth the Chinese ambassador, "This gun fires altogether too fast for China." That was then (1896).

FWIW Mythbusters are serious Obots and have donated serious money to Dear Leader. Thus, Who are they again?

EXACTLY, this is why I quit watching the show

I shot a 5 to 6 in dia. pine tree down once with a 30-30.
Didn’t take all that many shots.

Selling military technology to the Chinese? I bet one of Maxim’s descendents worked for the Clinton administration.

An A-10 Warthog mini-gun can turn a Tank into a Junk Volkswagon (more or less)...
ANY tree would be chump change.. waste of bullets..
